Moving out of the ICU :)

I talked with my Dad this morning a little after 9 a.m. and he said that Mary Alice is doing well enough to move out of ICU today! Yeah! He thinks they will be able to move her hopefully by early afternoon. Kids are not allowed in ICU but I can bring the girls to see her today once she is in her new room! Anne is working on a watercolor picture/get well card as I write this - hopefully this will be something fun for my mom to look at in her room. I will try to read the blog comments to my mom if my dad has his laptop up and running in the room. If not, I know she will enjoy reading them (or having someone read them to her) sometime later!

Have a great day everyone :)

p.s. I thought I would post fun picture today... this is a picture from my grandma's 90th birthday last year.

We are so glad to hear your mom is doing well. And it sounds like her body is showing great promise to a speedy recovery. Solid work! We'll continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.Love,Hugh, Karen & Liam Sutherland

Way to go, Mary Alice! Laura, so glad to hear your mom is out of icu and thank you for the updates! I was also happy to hear an update on Whitney....the latest pictures of her on facebook are so beautiful! I hope all goes well with her ENT appt. Give your mom our love!

Thanks for the call as you drove down to the Hospital. Mar, plan on a trip to SF after your recovery. Mark and I thought by fall maybe you could handle a plane ride. I'll wait on you and spoil you out here! Weather is perfect in the fall. We could take you to the wine country!!

Hope to be home sometime within month or so. I'm glad to read about your fast recovery. No doubt you'll be up and at 'em in no time.

Malice, Jim & Fmly. - We are proud of you all. MAG - You're over the worst part. Rest, follow drs. orders, and get well soon. We are cheering for you. Keep your smile. Fish and ConnieThanks for the blog Laura.

I am glad to hear you are out of ICU and hopefully in a more comfortable setting. It sounds like you are being well-tended by dutiful family members. What a sign of love and appreciation for you. The Georgia Byrons are thinking of you and sending you well-wishes. We look forward to seeing you maybe later this summer when we are up on our Mid-West tour.

We are so happy she is doing so well! Doesn't suprise that she is recovering so quickly. She did raise four children after all....and she survived that! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

About Me

We (Mike & Laura) have two beautiful daughters: Anne, age 5 and Whitney, age 3. We decided to "blog" as a way to let our family and friends know the latest news about our family. We found out when Whitney was born that she has Down syndrome and a complete AV canal heart defect. Whitney had successful open-heart surgery on 12-1-08. We hope you enjoy our adventures, "up, down and all around!"
